One killed, one injured in McNairy County crash

An Adamsville woman was killed and a Pinson man was injured this morning in a two-vehicle crash in McNairy County, according to a Tennessee Highway Patrol report.

Johnna S. Chappell, 30, died in the crash on U.S. 64 about two miles east of Selmer.

David G. Russom, 49, was injured.

According to the THP report, Russom was driving a tractor-trailer westbound on 64, and Chappell was driving an SUV eastbound. Chappell's SUV crossed into the emergency lane and hit the guardrail, the report said. She then overcorrected, and the SUV crossed the median and into the westbound lanes, hitting the side of the tractor-trailer.

The report said Chappell was not wearing a seat belt.

The accident was reported shortly after 9 a.m.
